Actually the difference in sidewall height between 225/40 and 235/40 is just 4mm. Got difference meh.

It's not just about sidewall height

Was at a tyre shop this morning patching a puncture on my Michelins.  There were a few brands of GY tyres in the shop including Asymetric so I went to press the compoud and push the sidewalls.  Man the compound n walls give a hard feel, unlike the michelins so I reckon these GYs arent gonna be as comfy.  I think I will pass GY tyres at the next change again.

So far so good after few weeks of usage.

 

Managed to drive in heavy downpours, just love dancing in the wet.

My wife will always close her eyes when it rains as she see the driving excitement in my eyes.

Comfort wise is like a step up from A3, but tires still new.

Dry,wet,comfort,price - all tick boxes ticked for me.

I think it’s $240

Thanks! Sounds reasonable and should be cheaper than PS4 SUV which i’m eyeing too for 235/50R18.

 

Lots of good reviews for this tyre, one of which:

Even better than PS4 for dry and wet braking:

Upgraded from Goodyear EfficientGrip Perf 215/45/R17 to F1A5 215/45/R17.

Overall, positive experience - It has better grip. Despite harder/firmer sidewalls, surprisingly still very comfortable.

My braking distance has been reduced too.

Anyone knows which shop has F1A5 in 235/50R18 size? Just asked my regular tyre shop southeast tyres and they said they don’t have it yet
